ATR > VXN Alert (5m)
ATR > VXN Volatility Divergence Indicator
This custom TradingView indicator monitors real-time volatility divergence between realized volatility (via Average True Range, ATR) and implied volatility (via the CBOE NASDAQ Volatility Index, VXN). It is inspired by the GJR-GARCH (Glosten-Jagannathan-Runkle Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) model, which captures asymmetric volatility dynamics—particularly how markets respond more sharply to negative shocks than to positive ones.
Core Logic:
Chart on NQ (5 minute timeframe)
ATR (5-min) reflects realized intraday volatility of the Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ).
VXN (5-min, delayed) represents forward-looking implied volatility.
The indicator highlights regime shifts in volatility:
ATR < VXN: Volatility compression → potential energy building up (market coiling).
ATR > VXN: Volatility expansion → real movement exceeds expectations → potential breakout zone.
Visuals & Alerts:
Background turns green when ATR crosses above VXN, signaling a bullish expansion regime.
Background turns red when ATR drops below VXN, signaling compression or risk-off environment.
Custom alerts trigger on volatility regime shifts for breakout traders.
Application (Manual GJR-GARCH Strategy):
Similar to how the GJR-GARCH model captures volatility clustering and asymmetry, this indicator identifies when actual price volatility (ATR) begins to spike beyond implied forecasts (VXN), often after periods of contraction—mirroring a conditional variance shock in the GARCH framework.
Traders can align with directional bias using technical confluence (order flow, structure breaks, liquidity zones) once expansion is confirmed.
